Digitizing is the process of converting artwork designs into digital embroidery patterns.  This pattern is read by embroidering machines. Digitizing software is used to achieve this process. Artwork is created in a drawing format, vector format or scanned artwork from a picture.  It is saved in .jpeg format and converted to a digital embroidery pattern.

The word punching is a term that comes from the jacquard embroidery machine process.  These instructions come from a tape punched with holes that tells the machine's frame how to move and sew the embroidered design.   

Today the process is different. A digitizer uses expensive software to plot each point on a computer or graphic tablet.  The finished product is saved to a diskette for use with the embroidery machine.

Our experienced staff are familiar with the process from start to finish. Novel Eyes design services can also provide auxiliary services from concept design to getting the image for digitizing embroidery. Take a look at few of our Samples.
